Kylie Jenner sparks anger after restaurant staff claim she left a $20 tip for a $500 meal
Celebrity encounters are always interesting to hear. While they’re not completely revealing (what if someone’s having an ‘off’ day or just going through a hard time?) they can often shed light on what a very famous person is really like behind the scenes. Whether they’re kind to ‘normal’ people, whether they’re respectful to their entourage if they’re a bad tipper… And it’s the latter accusation that’s just been levelled at cosmetics tycoon and reality TV star Kylie Jenner. In a video shared in July 2020 former hostess Julia Carol Ann decided to spill the beans about the celebrities she’d met while working in “fancy Manhattan restaurant”. In a TikTok rating celebrities including Hailey Bieber and the Hadid sisters, Julia highlighted a not-so-positive experience with the youngest Jenner sibling. Sign up to our new free Indy100 weekly newsletter Turns out, for a very rich person, Kylie Jenner is apparently extremely stingy. “She was fine, but she tipped $20 on a $500 dinner bill,” Julia alleged. Do with that information what you will”. As a result, she rated Kylie “2/10” as a customer. Diners in America are encouraged to leave tips ranging from 15 to 20 per cent. Which would have been about $100 on Kylie’s cheque. Instead, her tip was reportedly only 4 per cent of the total. RELATED: Kendall Jenner posts completely butt naked photo on Instagram after reported break-up She’s currently being dragged for the alleged lack of generosity. This is a woman allegedly worth $900m, after all... Also faring badly in her ratings was Hailey Bieber who scored a “3.5/10” for not being “nice” during several interactions Julia had with her. The Hadid sisters, however, were “super polite and friendly with staff”, gaining them full marks. In part two of her TikTok tea-spilling, Julia also scored Kylie’s sister, Kendall Jenner, poorly. She got a “4/10” for being “pretty cold towards staff” and having “someone speak for her”. Beyoncé however got a “1000000/10” for being extremely polite. Manners cost nothing, folks!

Nasa gets ‘puzzling’ data back from Lucy spacecraft exploring distant object
Nasa has received “puzzling” data from a spacecraft that was studying a distant asteroid. The space agency’s Lucy Spacecraft left Earth in 2021, with the aim of studying “Jupiter trojans”, a set of asteroids that fly around the Sun along Jupiter’s orbit and remain largely mysterious. Recently, scientists decided to send it to visit another small object on its way, largely as a test of the systems on the spacecraft that let it track asteroids for its mission. When Lucy arrived at that object – a main belt asteroid named Dinkinesh – it found a surprise, however. Images taken of the asteroid showed that it had a satellite, which flies around the asteroid like a tiny moon of its own. Now, further examination of those images show that the satellite is not one but two objects. Those objects make up a “contact binary”, or two smaller objects that are touching each other as they fly through space. The unexpected discovery explains some of the strange data that scientists had received as they approached Lucy. But it opens up more confusion about the whole system, which one called “bizarre”. “Contact binaries seem to be fairly common in the solar system,” said John Spencer, Lucy deputy project scientist, in a statement. “We haven’t seen many up-close, and we’ve never seen one orbiting another asteroid. “We’d been puzzling over odd variations in Dinkinesh’s brightness that we saw on approach, which gave us a hint that Dinkinesh might have a moon of some sort, but we never suspected anything so bizarre!” The flyby of Dinkinesh was only intended as a test of the spacecraft’s systems but has now posed new possible research for scientists. “It’s truly marvelous when nature surprises us with a new puzzle,” said Tom Statler, Lucy program scientist from NASA Headquarters in Washington. “Great science pushes us to ask questions that we never knew we needed to ask.” “It is puzzling, to say the least,” said Hal Levison, principal investigator for Lucy, also from Southwest Research Institute. “I would have never expected a system that looks like this. In particular, I don’t understand why the two components of the satellite have similar sizes. This is going to be fun for the scientific community to figure out.” The scientists were only able to confirm the nature of the system with the multiple images that were sent back by Lucy in the wake of its encounter with Dinkinesh. Nasa is working now to get the rest of the data from the spacecraft, which might include yet more surprises. Lucy itself will continue flying through space on a journey that is due to take 12 years. Lucy is actually heading back to Earth, which it will use for a gravity assist to propel it onto the next part of its journey, back through the main asteroid belt and onto the Trojan asteroids.
